Hi, I recently installed Fmod Studio on my Imac. For some reason it’s running very slowly, it feels like the program only updates every 0,5sec (actually just feels like framerate lag) and does not feel smooth at all. I think my computer should be able to handle Fmod Studio as it’s a brand new Imac.…

We’ve not experienced any kind of lagging with our macOS machines. Are you able to provide a video of this slow loading happening and provide logs from ~/Library/Application Support/FMOD Studio?

I think I’m having the same issue. It runs fine on my older 2013 i5 imac and is choppy and sluggish on my 2015 i7.

The issue appears to be down to a third party framework that the FMOD Studio application uses. This will be fixed in a future release but it depends on how fast the third party moves with a fix.
